Sketch of 
St. Mary's T, A, & B, Society, 

On the twenty-sixth day of January, eighteen hundred and 
sixty-one. the St. Mary's Total Abstinence Society, of Norwich, 
was' organized for the purpose, as its name implies, of advocating 
the cause of Temperance and Total Abstinence. It was regarded 
by many as an experiment and dire predictions of failure were 
numerous, no doubt the wish being father to the thought. This 
offspring of the Rose of New England, however, early demon- 
strated that it had come to stay, and that it was fully prepared 
to meet all adversities bravely, believing that their cause was a 
righteous one and that success would crown their efforts. A kind 
destiny smiled upon them. And why not? Here were banded 
together a body of men whose intentions were as honorable and 
pure as they were lofty, as superbly grand as they were humane, 
to rescue the home and progeny from the effects of drunkenness. 
and squalor: to cleanse, purify and beautify the former, to educate 
the latter, as well as to make the father worthy of the name of 
citizen, a beloved husband, a kind and indulgent parent, was as 
beautiful in conception as in attainment. The members of the 
society early demonstrated their activity by meeting the attrac- 
tions of the saloon by counter attractions, and by educational 
measures, and as a result this organization, which has endured 
many vicissitudes, to-day is stronger, numerically and financially, 
than at any previous period. As the second Catholic society in 
Connecticut, it took a prominent part in the establishment of the 
Connecticut Union, and was a pioneer society in the organization 
cf the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America. 

The chief event, in which the society has figured publicly, is 
the celebration of its twenty-fifth anniversary, in Breed Hall, on 
January 2Cth. 1SS6. Here were gathered, to congratulate the so- 
ciety, representative men of nearly every religious denomination 
from the city and state, a fitting tribute to the worth of an 
organization which has striven so long and so earnestly for the 
bettering of the citizens cf Norwich. 

The dues are fixed at so small a sum that no one, no matter 
how straightened his circumstances may be, can be prevented 
from joining en that account. It is unnecessary to go into detail 
regarding the building owned by this society and the luxuriously 
furnished quarters, which is conceded by all to be one of the 
finest owned by any similar institution in the state. For the 
benefit of those who have never inspected it we wish to extend to 
them an invitation to do so at their convenience, knowing that 
the sacrifice of time will be amply repaid. 

The membership of the follow-ing- members dates from the 
earliest days of the society, and to whom the growth, success and 
prosperity of the society is in a large measure due: Felix Callahan, 
Dan. T. Shea. John Donohue. W. Bresnahan. Charles McG-ibney, 
J. TV. Shea. J. M. Lee. Michael Burns and James Burns. The 
membership of the latter three covers a period of 35 years. One 
of the charter members is Cornelius Corcoran.

REV. HUGH TREANOR, 



The Reverend High Treanor, the subject of this sketch, was 
bom in Providence, R. I., about fifty years ago. After attending 
school in that city, from which he graduated with high honors, he 
entered St. Charles College, Baltimore, Md., from whence he went 
to St. Mary's Seminary of the same city. 

Father Treanor was ordained a priest December the 21st, 1878, 
celebrating his first low mass at St. Peter's, Baltimore, and his 
first high mass at St. Peter's, Hartford, of which parish the Right 
Rev. Bishop Tierney, D. D., was then pastor. 

Father Treanor's first field of labor was destined to be in St. 
Mary's parish. Nor walk, where he was assistant pastor for 2 
period of seven years, at the expiration of which time he was en- 
trusted with the construction of a new parish in the city of Water- 
bury, now known as the Parish of the Sacred Heart, by the Right 
Rev. Bishop McMahon. On Feb. 22nd, 1885, Father Treanor preached 
his initial sermon to his new fleck in the church of the Immaculate 
Conception. Father Treanor quickly demonstrated that he was an 
indefatigable worker, and that his energies were boundless. The 
needs of his flock were at once recognized; he labored unceasingly 
and untiringly to fill their requirements, bringing to his new field 
of labor earnestness, zeal and a spirit not easily subdued by real 
or apparent difficulties. 

Father Treanor began immediately the task of providing his 
parishioners with a temple of worship, and on Thanksgiving day, 
Nov. 28th, 1889, witnessed the crowning of his good work, a fitting 
day on which to give to God a holy temple wherein his name 
should be praised, and on this day the new edifice was solemnly 
dedicated by the Right Rev. Bishop McMahon, the cost of the 
church being $55,000. Later the erection of a parochial residence 
was accomplished, and on Nov. 15th, 1897, after a period of nearly 
thirteen years' stewardship, Father Treanor's pastorate of the 
Sacred Heart parish ended with his transfer and appointment to 
St. Patrick's parish of this city. Since his advent in the latter 
parish the Norwich Town chapel was dedicated; extensive and 
much needed repairs have been made around the church and 
school, and last, though not the least of his attainments, was the 
purchase of Sachem Park for a burial ground. 

Father Treanor is a fearless worker, and every good cause 
receives his encouragement and assistance. He is esteemed and 
respected by all who know him, regardless of creed or color. .

Sketch of the 
Father Mathew T, A, Society, 



The Father Mathew T. A. Society owes its origin to the zeal 
of the Rev. James J. Smith, pastor of St. Mary's Parish, for the 
cause of temperance. The realization of his long- cherished plans 
for a total abstinence society in Greeneville was consummated on 
the 9th of April, 1899, when the present organization was formeid 
with a membership of 77. A constitution was adopted April 18th, 
and Mr. Charles O. Murphy elected first president. No more pro- 
pitious circumstance could have happened than to secure a man so 
thoroughly in sympathy with the cause of total abstinence as the 
helmsman of this newly-launched bark. To his constant atten- 
tion to the welfare of its members, his solicitous concern for the 
propagation and extension of the cause in question, and his prac- 
tical and unpartial administration of the presidency, may be 
ascribed the successful development of the organization. Mr. M. 
J. Curran, the present efficient encumbent of the presidential 
office, was the first chairman of the board of directors, and to 
his discretion and judicial capacity, the society refers its felicitous 
increase in the ranks of its members. 

During the society's embryo of existence, its meetings were 
held in the assembly room of St. Mary's Church. It was not long, 
however, before suitably appartments were procured in the Palmer 
block, Main and Sixth streets. Their formal occupation took place 
May 23d, and the past two years have proved the wisdom of their 
choice. 

The society has not failed to maintain the record of the Greene- 
ville people for superiority in matters of prowess and unified efforts. 
It soon established a 'manifest proof of this on the occasion of the 
Field Day, August 19, 1899. Though scarcely four months old, and 
generally looked upon as puerile and inexperienced, it clearly

demo: - a maturity of wise, systematic organization, that 

elicited no little surprise and admiration from the public of Nor- 
wich. For did it not receive the prize Hag offered for the best 
appearing society in line? And what competitors it had: The day 
U too fr c sh in our memories to necessitate the recital of that 
glorious triumph. From that day the Father Mathew T. A. So- 
ciety leaped to the front among the organizations affiliated with 
St. Mary's Parish, until now it is universally considered the first 
ty of the parish and one of the most popular and prosperous 
in the city. 

On Mr. Murphy declining a third nomination to the presi- 
dency. Mr. John J. Connelly was chosen his successor. Mr. Con- 
nelly fully satisfied the expectations that his reputation as an 
enthusiastic hustler warranted. Not only did the society ex- 
perience an increase, numerically and financially, but it also won 
for itself an enviable renown as an entertainer in the social circles. 
The efforts of the organizations in this line always merited the 
support and co-operation of its many generous admirers. Under 
Mr. Connelly's term of ;fHce. the society possessed in Mr. Edward 
J. Carroll, a chairman of the ■"Board of Directors," whose in- 
defatigable labors and fearless execution of duty helped in no 
meagre way to the firm establishment and stability of the organi- 
zation. 

On the expiration of Mr. Connelly's second term, January, 1901, 
Mr. Michael J. Curran was honored with the presidency. No 
- 3 : tion could have been made, for in Mr. Curran the so- 
ciety has at its head a man unflinching in duty, progressive in 
ideas, practical in application, fertile in expedients, an able and 
agreeable talker on questions :f the hour, and a life-long, earnest 
and vigorous exponent of the principles of total abstinence. Mr. 
Curran has very felicitously guided the progress of the society 
and t&e appreciation ox his valuable services may be observed from 
the fact of his recent unanimous re-election to the presidency.

Hon. CHARLES A. RUSSELL. 



Charles Addison Russell was born in Worcester, Mass., 
March 2, L852, and early began his upward march toward success 
over that rough and rugged pathway by which so many have at- 
tained eminence— the road oil journalism; and it may be said that 
in the making of a model statesman has been lost one of the 
best and mt. si promising editorial writers in New England, for 
Charlie took as naturally to newspaper work as a beaver to the 
brook. At 10 years of age he was selling daily papers on the 
streets of Worcester and just a little later on the road between 
Boston and Worcester with all the vim and enthusiasm of the 
fraternity. He then worked in a newspaper office until his college 
days in Yale. The third day after his graduation in 1873 found him 
again in the journalistic field where, during the next half dozen 
years, he did a large amount of excellent writing for many of the 
leading papers of New England, including the Worcester Press 
and Spy, Boston Herald and Springfield Republican. He was also 
engaged for a time on the New York "World. In May, 1879, Mr. 
Russell married Miss Ella Frances Sayles, daughter of the late 
Hon. Sabin L. Sayles, and began his residence in Killingly. Soon 
after he became associated wnth the Sabin L. Sayles company's 
woolen mill as its treasurer, and afterward continued in the same 
position with the Dayville Woolen Company. He immediately 
became prominent in the politics of the state; was on the staff 
of Governor Bigelow in 1881-2, was a member of the house in the 
early assembly of 1883 and was secretary of state in 1885-6. In 1886 
he was elected to congress from the Third district and has been 
continuously re-elected from that time until the present, thus 
making his term of service in the lower house of congress longer 
than that of any other of the twenty-seven members from New 
England. 

It is easy to find the reason for this popularity. Colonel 
Russell is no snob. He is affable, courteous and approachable by 
all. The man w r ith the dinner pail and overalls can find him just 
as easily as can the governor of the state. He is frank and out- 
spoken and plays none of the traps and tricks of the demagogue. 
He recognizes republicans and democrats as alike his constituents 
and no individual claim or want goes unattended. Having him- 
self risen from the ranks of labor he has ever been a reliable and 
consistent friend of union labor, and by his opposition to the third 
section of the census bill which, had it become a law r , would have 
given the director of the census authority to let by. the contract 
$2,000,000 worth of printing and book binding, helped organized 
labor to win a great victory and earned him the thanks of the 
printing trades of the District of Columbia. Mr. Russell is a 
ready debater and a graceful orator. His opinions on questions of 
legislation are always eagerly sought, command respect and carry 
influence in the national house. By his leadership he honors him- 
self and his constituents and brings influence to Connecticut in 
the councils of the nation.

Sketch of the Father Mathew T. A. Socitty. 
{Continued from />^X ( ' 37-\ 
An ins »f the progressive spirit that animates the up-to- 

date members of the Fr. Mathew T. A. Society may not be amiss. 
Who is there that has not heard of "Captain Jack" and the suc- 
na occasioned at the Broadway Theatre last spring? 
The boys did splendidly and the critics exhausted their stock of 
atulati ry phrases in their effort to do the artists justice. No 
amateur theatricals in recent years caused so much comment or 
eventuated so successfully as the first attempt of this society. To 
Mr. Curran may be attributed much of the credit due to the 
originators. 

The Fr. M. T. A. Society prides itself to-day on a membership 
above the century mark. The present officers besides Mr. Curran, 
include Mr. Michael J. Cosczran, Vice-President; Mr. Joseph A. 
Donnelly. Recording Secretary; Mr. Michael J. Carroll, Financial 
Secretary; Mr. David Campion, Treasurer; and Mr. Patrick 
Hinchey. Chairman of the Board of Directors. Rev. James J. 
Smith is spiritual director. 

One cause cl the society's successful career is the harmonious 
relations which have always existed between the board of govern- 
ment and the body and the individuals themselves. Everyone has 
worked in unison and not a discordant note has been struck to 
mar the effect cf the melody. While the organization is still but 
in a nascent state and growing with a rapidity equal only to its 
popularity, yet the influence it has exerted within the limits of 
its opera.tions is very strong and effective. Not only has it en- 
deavored to elevate the moral standing of the community by its 
unc unpromising warfare against the evils of intemperance, but it 
has also succeeded in forming among the people of St. Mary's 
Parish a sociability at once congenial and respectable. To no one 
perhaps does the society owe more than to its kind pastor and 
founder who has never been wanting in co-operating with its en- 
terprises, giving timely advice and counsel and consulting at all 
times its permanent welfare, influence and success.
